Also for the nitro badges cost, it seems like you can also just buy nitro basic and get the badges (unless Discord goes massive corporate greed moment and makes it $10 nitro only). So prices would be $3 per month or $30 per year -> Fire badge at 6+ years = $180

Sucks to be you, the store is a thing of the past. - uh ackchually your nitro subscription is now called a "legacy" plan which is less expensive for you for just a year before it gets downgraded to nitro basic which has less functionality than before, and by the way we now have this cool new nitro plan that's twice the price. WHAT A DEAL! - Ah, we're reverting a QoL change that 100% of people were asking for for years after granting it for just two years. Sub to nitro, peasant !

Instead of complaining about this, why don't we come up with a better solution to offer them to fix it by reaching out to them, file storage is extremely expensive. They are also using a CDN network to store those files, and from what it seems like the majority of files never get deleted from discord as long as the servers are existent. I'm sure there is some type of rentenstion period but calling this corporate greed is obsurd. Discord is the biggest platform used by gamers. It makes absolute sense why it has the lowest file sizes in comparison to other platforms, other platforms try to lure you in with higher upload sizes. This is something that will always get worse and never improve because the limitation is physical hardware needed to store data.I would be down for a feature where you could set the time limit on a file to be downloaded and the lower the time limit the higher the upload sizes.

Maybe discord should make it so quests are able to be created by individual servers too. Quests for members. Members complete quest. Members are awarded with X reward or whatever servers and their owners can come up with. Sounds like a useful tactic to keep members engaged.

[@DeretyngKyng]

It would probably be a level 3 feature

[@TheStormyClouds]

Their logic doesn't even make sense. If the issue is storage costs, then the fact that 99% of people don't use over 10MB, that means that restricting it to 10MB means you'd see nearly no effect on your storage costs. The real logic is "Most users won't notice, so we can try to force some people to upgrade without facing much backlash".

[@jacksonbloodmoon3787]

Same here, if Discord is gonna be this fucking shitty and treating us with making us suffer through this bullshit of stripping away what we loved just to make us pay for Nitro. Then yeah not spending a single fucking dime on those fuckers. If all Nitro features were free and the only thing Nitro gave you was just a badge and some customization, then everyone would be happy, and the only reason to get Nitro is just to support them. But no, they are greedy fucks, and want to give people who gives them money for fucking premiums that we can't enjoy and they are doing everything to make Nitro seem better but only makes us hate them more and be repulsed by the idea of giving money to those greedy fucks.

[@amaggard14]

Don’t get your hopes up for the “free nitro” quests. If it’s like all other apps, which it most likely is, it will be 3 days of free nitro for maybe an hour of doing the quest, and it will be something you can only claim once. If anything it benefits discord way more than it benefits you because it gives users a taste of what nitro is like and will make some users miss it once it’s gone in a few days and they will consider buying it more than they would have previously.

[@Techno-Universal]

Imagine them making the ability to upload any files or share URLs a paid Nitro feature so the 10MB limit actually applies to Nitro Basic while the free upload limit is zero.

[@OhhCrapGuy]

Honestly, they should reasonably just introduce a "keep file for [1 week]", allow it to be changed to a year or two or something, and that allows them to not have to store it for all eternity. Unless it's actually just about making people pay, and the whole storage thing is just an excuse. BUT WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT, RIGHT?!

[@naomie2680]

Discord's mentality is to give you features you don't want and ignore those you want. That's definitely a better option than what they are doing, but where would they be getting money if people doesn't get nitro if they don't need it thanks to that free feature? Yeah, ofc will never happen sadly

[@MasicoreLord]

I could just see it now, them introducing file upload expiration, and if you want it to be stored indefinitely, you must get Nitro. I predict Discord's nitro badge power-ups will not apply to basic.

[@OhhCrapGuy]

@@MasicoreLord I mean, I suspect most people would rather have larger expiring downloads instead of smaller downloads that last forever. Every time I send or receive a download, it's downloaded within a day and never referenced again.

[@MasicoreLord]

@@OhhCrapGuy makes more sense, since the relevance of most files attached likely is limited w/in the same day or so. although there is some usefulness to even the attachments getting archived with chat history, but obviously the space that takes up adds up overtime. (maybe older files should be compressed and possibly moved to other servers/storage, which may be slower to access, but is cheaper to store lots of data)

[@OhhCrapGuy]

@@MasicoreLord Lossless compression is almost certainly already used on your machine before even sending the file to Discord, even if they weren't stored compressed on the server. Why? Because for most data (but not pictures or video) the single greatest bottleneck to transferring it is: the Internet itself. See, a 25MB text file will often compress to 50% or less with something extremely fast like lz4 or gzip. In fact, it's so fast that it's usually less than 1/10th of the uncompressed transfer time. So if it took 10 seconds to transfer 100MB uncompressed, it would take 1 second to compress it, and 5 seconds to transfer. But the transfer doesn't even need to wait until the compression is complete, it actually starts within like 0.1 seconds or less, and starts sending the beginning of the compressed stream while it's still compressing the rest. So for highly compressible data, like a SQLite file, sending it compressed may actually speed up the transfer by a factor of 5 or more! And of course, once Discord has the compressed file stream, there's zero reason to decompress it first before storing it on disk. They may want to scan it for viruses, but that has to happen in memory anyway, not on disk. So they might uncompress the stream to main memory, scan it, deallocate the uncompressed version, and save the compressed version. Now, you might be wondering "what about if it's uncompressed for some reason, what then?" The answer is "compress it before writing it to disk." Why? Because when the kernel receives the uncompressed data, it's copied to main memory for the server software to process. Then the server software does whatever it needs to do before giving it BACK to the kernel to write to disk, then its sent from the kernel to the disk controller. Then the disk controller writes the data to the physical medium. Guess what the biggest bottleneck is after the kernel receives the incoming bytestream. Did you guess "sending it to the disk controller and writing it to disk"? Because that's it. In fact, it's (generally) so much slower that it's still faster to compress it first so that the disk has to write fewer bytes. This falls apart a bit with newer Gen 5 NVMe Enterprise drives, but when you add the savings on having to buy, install, and power more disks in a data center, it's OBVIOUSLY better to simply compress everything you can every chance you get, not just for storage, but mostly for performance. So that's why it's almost certainly compressed losslessly on their disks, because uncompressed data is TOO SLOW to deal with. They probably only had it uncompressed in main memory briefly for a virus scan, if that, and probably not the entire file.

[@lelegoguemraoui772]

plain perfect. i like to send my friends or random people i meet on servs gameplay of random games i like, sometimes some MS paint art, sometimes videos. etc etc. already, the shitty 25mb limit didnt let me upload most of my gameplay footage. thats infuriating ik. but now, it lowers it to 10mb? and to hide it off they dont even tell you the limit? istg companies will literally do ANYTHING for that bling-bling, sometimes its understandable changes, sometime its just outright killing yourself off. i wouldnt even be surprised if they implemented a max message per day/ per user. just shows you how much the world is centered around money these days.

[@Toma912]

the upload limit being 25 mb was already shitty and now its even shittier

[@symmetry8049]

Wait so They want to keep server storage costs down. And they say that 99% of users don't upload more than 10mb So reducing the upload limit wouldn't change anything for that majority. So which is it? Is too much shit being uploaded? Or are 99% of users not affected anyways? Increasing Nitro upload limit probably will only lead to more stuff they need to store

[@thisislame2207]

The logic they seem to have here is you are paying $10 a month into server costs and your average nitro user isn't normally going to overfill $10 worth of server rental space with their uploads. Or at least that's how I am interpreting their words here.

[@touma-san91]

Idk why Discord thinks of thsemselves as cloud storage. Easier solution would be removing anything that is older than 6 months rather than them pissing on everyone's cereal. If someone wants to save something, they should do so on their own devices.

[@kmcat]

Deleting data also has a cost. Normally, it's cheaper to move it a low class of storage

[@touma-san91]

@@kmcat Not really? Storage costs and if they keep files indefinitely they will need more and more storage, storage that requires electricity and power so it will not be cheaper, it will end up being more expensive the longer they keep hoarding files. With platform as big as Discord, we are talking about tens of thousands per month just for storage alone. If it was lot smaller platform, sure, then your suggestion would make sense but we are talking about platform with millions of daily users who most of them do upload files and images to it. I would understand saving old files if Discord was platform like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok or KZbin, it would be a different story though. And frankly, Discord might just as well put any file retention behind Nitro and not retain files of free users for longer than the 6 month.

[@Ashen_Night116]

@@touma-san91 Sadly, in some instances it benefits them to save the stuff, it's a fringe case but you can make an argument for it, but; lotta shitty people use Discord.
